Chapter 147 The Little Maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion 11
Chu Yuan readily accepted this premise. After all, she didn't want to kill people or burn things, or commit treason or collaborate with the enemy. She just wanted to have someone in the court to do things for her in the future.
A promise from King Xinyuan is much more valuable than ten thousand taels of silver.
After the terms were agreed upon, Chu Yuan's attitude became very friendly: "Tell me, what news do you want to convey?"
"I need you to go to a place and tell a woman named Mu Yi about my presence here. Use this ring on my hand as a token of trust."
Chu Yuan took the ring and left. Before leaving, he threw him a bottle of medicine: "I will try to go and come back as quickly as possible. I hope you are not dead before then."
Xiao Yuncheng took the porcelain bottle and smelled it. It was indeed the best medicine for wounds. Where did this woman come from? She even carried the land deed and medicine with her when she went out.
Chu Yuan got the promise and did her best to do the job. She knew that the place King Xinyuan mentioned was a teahouse in the inner city.
Sure enough, the teahouses in ancient times were ostensibly used for drinking tea, but secretly they served as communication bases for a certain force.
Chu Yuan took the jade ring that symbolized his status and successfully met the steward here: "I want to see Mu Yi. I have something urgent to ask her."
The steward recognized the ring and said, "Please wait a moment, young lady. I will send someone to inform Miss Mu Yi."
Chu Yuan waited for about half an hour while drinking tea, and then he saw the steward hurriedly walking in with a woman.
Chu Yuan was very surprised because she had just seen the woman in front of her, Ying from Nishang Pavilion.
"Madam Ying, are you Mu Yi?"
"Yes, how did you get this ring? Have you ever seen the Lord?"
"So you are his subordinate. He is seriously injured and is temporarily living in a yard on the outskirts of the city. Take someone to pick him up."
Madam Ying thought for a moment, then sent someone to bring a sedan chair over, and also brought a doctor with her: "Miss Chu, please come with me for another trip."
This is using her as a cover. It seems that the fact that Prince Xinyuan was injured cannot be known to others.
Chu Yuan wanted to be a good person and followed them again until they reached a house on the outskirts of the city.
Xiao Yuncheng was lying on the bed dozing off when he heard the sound of someone coming in.
Fortunately, after applying the medicine, the wound stopped bleeding and he regained some strength.
He walked slowly to the door with the sword in his hand, but before he could make any move, he heard a familiar voice.
"This is it. The person you are looking for is inside."
"Thank you Miss Chu for leading the way."
He breathed a sigh of relief. It was Ying'er's voice.
Then the door was pushed open: "My lord, how did you get so many injuries? Call the doctor quickly."
"Don't cry, Ying'er. I just have a few more wounds, but they are not deep. I won't die."
Alas~ Ying'er, you call me so affectionately, there must be an affair.
Rumor has it that Prince Xinyuan had always refused to marry, and the emperor had tried many times to grant him a marriage but failed, so he was so angry that he beat him with 20 sticks.
These two people, one is 28 and still unmarried, and the other is 24 and still unmarried, they look like a couple no matter how you look at them.
But this was someone else's privacy, and Chu Yuan didn't want to pry into it, so he avoided it.
She returned to the room where she used to live and began looking for the whereabouts of the two design drawings. Sure enough, she found their traces in the gap of the table.
After finding the thing, Chu Yuan was about to say goodbye and leave.
Madam Ying stopped her and said, "Miss Chu, the master is seriously injured. I'm afraid he needs to borrow your place to recuperate for a few days before he can move. I think you don't want to live in this yard anymore. Why don't you sell it to me?"
Chu Yuan agreed of course. There was no use in keeping the yard anyway, so it would be great if it could be sold.
Madam Ying was very generous. She gave her 500 taels of silver and sent someone to take her to go through the formalities.
Once the title deed was transferred, the yard had nothing to do with her anymore.
Chu Yuan didn’t know what happened next, she just lived her own life behind closed doors.
When I chose to save King Xinyuan, I felt that although this man was different from the rumors, he was not a wicked person.
This is the vision she has developed after experiencing so many worlds.
Moreover, Chu Yang plans to pursue a career in politics in the future. If he can get to know King Xinyuan, he might be able to avoid many detours in the future.
Prince Xinyuan's biological mother is Princess Jingning, the current emperor's biological sister.
When the emperor was young, it was thanks to his two elder sisters that he was able to escape from the hands of the villain.
It’s a pity that Princess Jingning died after falling off a cliff while trying to divert pursuers for her brother.
His father was General Xinyuan, who was in charge of military power. In the second year of the emperor's accession to the throne, he died in battle while resisting the invasion of enemy countries.
So he lost his parents at a very young age and grew up with his aunt, Princess Jingxuan, the emperor's second sister.
Princess Jingxuan was the princess in charge of government affairs at that time. When the emperor was young, all state affairs were handled by Princess Jingxuan. It was not until he turned 14 that Princess Jingxuan returned the government affairs and retired to the princess's mansion.
It can be said that without the help of these two sisters, the position of emperor might not be secure.
So it is conceivable that the emperor would dote on his eldest sister's only blood relative as much as he could.
Xiao Yuncheng was made a king at the age of 12, and was allowed to inherit his father's title - Xinyuan. Even when he later defied the order and refused to marry in court, he was only caned.
Being able to climb onto this high branch, Chu Yang’s future can be said to be bright and successful.
On the day Chu Yuan submitted his manuscript, Lady Ying had already returned from the outskirts of the city: "Miss Chu, let's go into the room and talk."
She brought Chu Yuan to her room and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chu. My master said that if you need anything in the future, just come to Nishang Pavilion and let me know."
Chu Yuan quickly helped her up: "Sister, you are too polite. If I had known that he knew you, I would not have asked for anything."
"It's okay. You saved the lord's life, so you deserve whatever you ask for."
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, but Chu Yuan still couldn't hold back his curiosity: "Sister Ying, that day I heard him call you Ying'er, did you two..."
Madam Ying smiled and said, "You know a lot at such a young age. I have been with you since I was ten years old. Over the years, I myself have been a little confused as to whether the relationship between us is family affection or a relationship between a man and a woman."
"But I saw clearly that day that he didn't have any affection for you."
"Don't think too much, kid. If you have time, you should draw a few more pictures and let me, your sister Ying, make a lot of money."
The moment the words fell, Chu Yuan saw the loneliness hidden in her eyes. In this era, there are too many reasons why two people in love cannot be together.
Although she hopes that lovers can eventually get married, how many such beautiful stories can there be?
